This applies to those engaged in politics, the media, and positions of power throughout this country. We currently have “Tech Billionaires” attempting to filter and present only one side of an argument and have applied filters and so called “fact checkers” to accomplish this. The only problem is that the filters and fact checkers are very much agenda driven and stifle or completely delete any dissenting viewpoints.

The so called mainstream media, beginning when the Trump candidacy became a reality, immediately devolved into “Trump Derangement Syndrome” and has not recovered nearly 4 years later. We have had to endure, hate Trump and Republicans or all things conservative, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. This smearing has included fabrications, anonymous sources, and outright lies. There is no longer even any semblance of an attempt to report factually as everything has become agenda driven and only approved talking points and storylines are presented as news. This is very much like what we saw with state controlled media during the height of the Soviet Union.

Most recently is the allegation against Joe Biden. One has only to look back to what we witnessed during the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh for a glaring example of the word described above. The so called #metoo movement has been completely silent on the issue along with the media, and people of one political party.

What is happening with the left, the media, and politics completely sickens and frightens this writer to death. The damage that is being inflicted may not be something that we will ever recover from but we must try with everything in us. America is worth the effort.
